Mads Tofte Biography
Mads Tofte (born 20 April 1959) is a Danish computer scientist who has contributed in particular to functional programming and the Standard ML programming language.
In his 1984 MSc thesis and prior work he investigated and formalized the CERES compiler generator (with Neil D. Jones), and showed that (1) a compiler generator is itself a compiler from language definitions to compilers; and (2) under suitable assumptions there exists a language definition that, when applied to itself, generates a compiler generator. This has close connections to self-application in partial evaluation.
Tofte was born in Lyngby, Denmark and grew up in Holbæk, Denmark. He studied computer science and mathematics at the University of Copenhagen where he obtained an MSc degree (with supervisor Neil D. Jones) in 1984; then at University of Edinburgh where he obtained a PhD degree in 1988 (advised by Robin Milner). He is doctor honoris causa 2007 from Kingston University.
Subsequently he developed (with Jean-Pierre Talpin) the notion of region inference, a program analysis and memory management technique that avoids or minimizes the use of garbage collection. This work was first published in POPL 1994 and in 2005 it earned the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) POPL 1994 Most Influential Paper Award.
In April 1999 he was appointed the first managing director of the IT University of Copenhagen. He oversaw the creation of the university from scratch, the hiring of faculty/staff, recruitment of students and the design of the study programs. The first students started 5 months later in September 1999. Since 2003 he has been vice chancellor of the IT University of Copenhagen.
In the late nineties he co-developed (with Fritz Henglein and others) a type system and a sophisticated tool called AnnoDomini for mitigation of the Year 2000 problem in COBOL software. The tool analyses legacy programs to discover all data fields that are used as dates. This work was presented in a POPL 1999 invited keynote.
In April 2018 it was announced that he would leave The IT University of Copenhagen at the end of the year. In January 2019, he announced that he would sail off from Denmark, to be with his daughter, as a consequence of Denmark’s immigration laws, which prevented her from entering the country.
